1) Before assembly
- Check if the part codes and design match the old part.
- Compare the orientation of the part, the shape of the holder, the position of the mounting holes and the design of the winder.
- Inspect the condition of the belt and mechanism – the belt must not be visibly damaged, frayed, oiled or deformed.
- Verify that the mechanism winds smoothly and without excessive resistance.
2) Necessary tools and materials
- regular set of hand tools
- tools for gentle dismantling of interior plastics
- cleaning agent for surrounding mounting surfaces
- work gloves and good lighting
3) Step-by-step assembly procedure
- Secure the vehicle against movement and prepare a working area around the assembled part.
- Dismantle the necessary covers, upholstery or access elements so that you can get to the part without damaging the interior.
- Carefully remove the original part and continuously note its position and the direction of the individual parts.
- Compare the old and new part side-by-side – especially the attachment, orientation and belt guidance.
- Clean the contact and mounting surfaces from dust and dirt.
- Place the used part in place in the correct position without force and without crossing or twisting the belt.
